Seller's Description

The SV Blue Goose, an Ericson 38 designed by Bruce King in 1980, is a solid blue water vessel known for its sturdy fiberglass build, perfect for tackling rough seas. Its fin keel ensures easy maneuverability in marinas and while holding an upwind tack. Plus, most of the winches are cockpit-operated, making solo sailing a breeze. The Universal Diesel motor underwent a full rebuild just a year ago, guaranteeing reliable performance. Equipped with a stainless steel arch housing two solar panels and davits for the dinghy, she’s fully set up for extended trips. Below deck, you’ll find plenty of space with a tall interior (headroom of 64), including a quarter berth, galley, saloon, game table, V-berth, a bathroom with separate shower, and a cozy wood stove. The mahogany interior and real leather cushions add to the comfortable vibe. And don’t forget, the double quarter berth can be enclosed to create a separate cabin. Ready to set sail, the SV Blue Goose is your key to exploring the untouched beauty of the Sea of Cortez. Moored near Marina La Paz, you can even purchase the mooring along with the boat for added convenience.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.4 kn
Classic: 7.4 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

8.37 knots
Classic formula: 7.4 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.8
16-20: good performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
18.78
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
42.4
>40: stiffer, more powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

42.43
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
233.4
200-275: moderate

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
233.39
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
25.5
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
25.46
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.0
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.95
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

DRAFT:
Wing Keel = 5’/1.52m
Shoal Draft = 4.92’/1.5m
Deep keel= 6.5’/1.98m

The ERICSON 38-200 was introduced in 1986? which shared the same hull but with new deck, coach roof and interior.
